The Paint that Blooms in the Spring.


With the sunny Spring days the paint
ing begins in every town. and with the
opening of these days Messrs. Hughes &
Robinson advertise the Longman & Marti-
nez absolutely pure paints, for which they
are the agents. These paints are abso-
lutely pure, and a gallon will give two
coats to two hundred and fifty square feet
of wood surface, at cost for three coat
work of ST. ,2S per gallon, or for two coat
work 81, 80 per gallon. They are used
throughout the Union, and for the past
eleven years every gallon sold has been
under two guarantees, one as to the dura-
bility Of the paint, and another that the
cost is ten per cent. less than any other
paint. They are prepared by machinery
and have greater body and more uniform
ity than the paints prepared by hand
When building painted with them is not
satisfactory, Messrs. Longman & Marti-
nez guarantee to repaint the building at
their own expense with such other paint
as the property owner may aelect.
Messrs. Hughes & Robinson have a
large stock of these paints put up in pack
ages from of gallon up to 40 gallon bar
rels and are prepared to fill all orders left
with them.

The Local Option Election.

The vote on "License :" or IN License''
takes place in Stanton next Tuesday,
April 5til. The polls open at sunrise and
close at sunset.
The canvass up to this time has been
conducted with very little excitement, but
much activity on both sides. Both parties
have headquarters, the Dry party hav-
ing engaged the old Democratic club room
in tie Hurley building, aud the Wet par
ty having opened headquarters at the old
Democratic Workingmen's club room on
New street. Both sides appear active in
prizlng out the colored vote. The open
ing speech of the Drys was made at the
Rink by the Rev. John II. Hector, color
ed, and the opening speech of the Vets
was made at their club room by Col. W.
A. Pledger, colored. To affect the white
vote, both sides shower the community
every twenty-four hours with opposing
circulars, treating the wet and dry issue
from business, moral, taxation, religious
and every other conceivable point of view.
During the days between now and Tues
day it is likely that white speakers will
address audiences on the question.
To-day. representatives of Good Temp
lar lodges in Augusta, Buckingham, Bot
etourt, Highland, and Rockbridge coun-
ties will assemble in convention here to
form District Lodge. Col. J. R. Miller,
Grand Chief Templar of the State, and
former member of the celebrated Louis
lana Tigers" will be present and it is like
ly will deliver public address in behalf
of the Drys.
Up to yesterday evening each side to
the fight claims that if no change in the
vote takes place between now and Tues
day, its side has won the campaign.
Last night the ''Drys" had addresses at
the Skating Rink from Messrs. Hector,
Vassar, Miller. Hotchkiss, and Gray.

Westminster Abbey is in London. 1t
is bounded by Temple Bar on the east,
Chelsea and Kensington on the west, the
Thames on the south and Marylebone on
the north. It is called Westminster to dis
tinguish it from a cathedral church origi-
nally called Westminster. The first edi1ce
of stone erected on the site was built by
Edward the Confessor, but the principal
part Of the existing Abbey was built by
Henry the Third. The whole building
forms cross, and its length, including
Henry the Seventies chapel, is 51l feet;
its width across the transepts is 2O3 feet,
and the height of its roof Is 1902 feet. AS
you enter from the inner court Of West
minister School, through long, low, vault
ed passage, which is dlmly lighted in one
part by circular perforations in the walls,
you have distant view of the cloisters
with the figure of an old verger in his
black gown. The walls are discolored
with dampness, and crumbliDg with age.
When you cometo the Poets corner which
occupies nearly half Of the South transept,
you find that people linger longer in that
place than in any other, for there is
sort of companionship between the author
and the reader. The monuments are gen.
orally simple, the lives of literary men
affording no striking theme for the sculp-
tor. There are only two writers who have
statues erected to their memory, and
those two are Shakespeare and Addison.
The rest have busts, and some mere IN
scriptiou. In the evening you may hear
the sweet tongued bell summoning to
evening prayers, and see the choristers in
their white SUPPLIES crossing the aisles
and entering the choir. A flight of steps
leads up to Henry the Seventies chapel,
through a deep and gloomy, but magnif-
cent arch. The entrance gates are of oak,
ornamented with brass and gilt The
chapel consists of five small chapels at the
east end, and two side aisles north and
south. On entering, the eye is astonished
by the pomp of architecture and the great
beauty of sculptured detail. Stone seems
to have been robbed of its weight by the
cunning labor Of the chisel, and suspended
aloft as if by magic. Leaving Henry the
Seventies chapel and ascending the small
staircase to the Shrine of Edward the
Confessor (Which is elevated upon kind
Of stand), we have grand view of the
muItltudes of tombs below US. Close
around the stand are the tombs Of various
Kings and Queens, while near the shrine
is the coronation chair. Here was the
type of the beginning and end of human
ponp and power; here it was literally but
step from the throne to the sepulchre.

Augusta as a HorsesMarket.

At their last court day the farmers Of
Rockingham sold at the least estimate $50
horses to dealers from the North who came
to Harrisonburg. About twenty carloads
were Shipped from there. This was an
unusually large day it is true, but it may
be safely said that on every court day
from 100 to 200 horses raised in Rocking
ham are sold to buyers from abroad who
congregate at Harrisonburg. The animals
wanted and purchased are heavy draft hor-
ses, and they have brought all the way from
$75 to $500. Perhaps it would be within
the figures to say SS5,0 600 was carried home
by farmers from their county town on that
day. This is something that should receive
the gravest attention from our Augusta
farmers. for 1t is here that the facilities
for raising heavy draft horses are possess
ed, and not in Rockingham. That county
we believe has not single imported
Percheron, and yet look at Augusta
county's list of imported Perchercn and
Clydesdale stallions-B. f. Smith has q
PercherOn stallion that has taken the first
prize over twenty other imported stations
and is horse that cost $4,000; Thomas
Smiley has one that cost So 900; Samuel
Byers has Clydesdales that cost 81 1000,
and Geo. W. Freed has one that cost
81, 000-a list of eight or nine imported
stations costing $4,000 If our farmers
generally would 60 into breeding with
these, there would soon be horse market
at Staunton once a month from which
they might return with from $40,0 900 to
$4,000. Already the buyers have COM
menced regularly visiting our market, but
our offerings are not yet up to the number
and description they wish. They soon
would be if the farmers generally took
hold of the matter.

give Senator Riddleberger the po-
sition among the Senate's employees made

demanded the clerkship in the Senate now
held by ex-Auditor Brown Alien. of Viz
GINA, one of Gen. Mahone's appointees,
for his friend Campbell, whom Gen. Ma
hone had removed in order to give it to
his friend Rogers. The result of the in

Senator was intent upon having his de-
mand complied with was evident to every
body about the room in which the inter
view took place.

THE CAT.

The cat is a domestic animal, having
long whiskers, or rather mou5tache, which
gives it very delicate sense of touch,
particularly in the dark, which is the time
in which it chiefly seeks its prey. Its eyes
are so made that it can see ia the dark
much better than most animals can. Its
fore-paws are larger and stronger than
those behind, which is the case with most
of those animals that spring upon their
prey. Cats are said to be treacherous,
and, while they are playing with you will
scratch and bite. but this does not arise
from deceit. 1t is only the excitement OF
the moment which makes them forget
how sharp their claws are. They wound
when they would only caress. They like
animal food best and are very fond OF
birds.
